From Indiana State Police: Because of the earlier snow, ice and rain the roadways in southern Indiana are beginning to become slick and hazardous. Motorists are urged to use caution and avoid unnecessary travel.

From KYTC: Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews continue to spread salt in many of our counties in response to ice that has moved across the region in the last 4 hours. As heavier areas of freezing rain and sleet have moved through they have created slick spots pretty much all over the region.

Motorists are urged to use extreme caution as ice can form very quickly under these conditions. While crews are actively spreading salt, it takes longer for the salt to improve driving conditions when ice is in the mix.

As temperatures warm into the mid-morning hours we expect things to improve about as quickly as they have deteriorated. Meanwhile, let’s all buckle up, slow down and use extra caution out on the road.

From MetroSafe: There are many accidents reported, but the expressways are especially bad

Metro Snow Team Update: The full Metro Snow Team is currently treating over 2,700 two-lane miles of designated snow routes with salt. Light freezing rain is causing slick spots, especially at intersections, bridges and overpasses. Use caution on roadways, take it slow and give yourself plenty of room between vehicles. Salt treatment combined with brine that was already on the roads will assist in improving conditions and will also help prevent re-freezing on roads when the temperature drops later tonight.
